Nowadays there are hardly any smartphone users who have not installed WhatsApp, the most widely used messenger by far, and who also use it regularly to keep in touch with friends, relatives and acquaintances. In Germany, too, the app, which is now part of the Facebook group, is the undisputed number one: According to current studies, 63 percent of all Germans use WhatsApp every day.
In addition to sending text messages and photos, the messenger service can now do a lot more: For example, it is possible to make video and group calls, send voice messages and send videos, documents and your current location to your conversation partner. In addition, there are constant updates with new functions – mostly quietly and clandestinely, but always with relatively great benefits for the user. Due to the large number of functions, it is almost impossible to keep track of things. In our guide, we not only provide you with numerous tips and explanations on the individual functions, but we also present the settings menu in detail. You will also learn how to use the Messenger service on an iPhone.
In addition, we explain how you can create a backup copy of your chat history – also known as a backup – and transfer it to a new smartphone. Finally, we will tell you everything you need to know about the small, colorful pictures called emojis and present you with curious excerpts from sales calls conducted with WhatsApp.
